Question

1. a ball resting on the edge of a table has mainly:

a) kinetic energy
b) potential energy
c) electrical energy
d) sound energy

Explanation:

• Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. Since the ball is resting (not moving), it does not have kinetic energy.
• Potential energy is the energy stored due to position. A ball on the edge of a table has gravitational potential energy because of its height above the ground.
• Electrical energy is related to electric charges and currents. There is no indication of electrical components or charges in this scenario.
• Sound energy is produced by vibrating objects. The resting ball is not vibrating to produce sound.

Answer:

B. Potential energy
